Just finished this one up today. I bought it new in 1984. It's a JoHan re-issued X-EL promo. Took it apart, cleaned it, re-finished the interior correctly, buffed out the body (factory Turbine Bronze metallic), stripped and re-shot the bumpers in Alclad, (original chrome was shot), blackwashed where applicable, "redwashed" the tail light panel, and then did all the BMF. I've always wanted this in my case, now I can finally put it in there!

Very nice. I have two of those, molded in bright taxi yellow, that I have had for as many years. Someone had swiped the chassis out of them, put both remainders in the same box and sold it to me for $3. Price tag is still on the box. I need to figure out what chassis would work under the Chrysler.

I remember a nice, clean '68 4-door for sale when I was in college. If I had the money, or could've found a way to get it...

Very nice job on that.
